Photo IV

Issues in Contemporary Photography — aesthetics, visual analysis and personal methodology.

Build a critical photographic practice.

Photo IV develops aesthetic perception and a deeper understanding of contemporary photographic language. The programme works across two linked directions: an “aesthetic alphabet” of perspective, framing and point of view, and the development of a personal methodology for producing photographic work.

Through discussion, examples and assignments, participants examine how landscape, portraiture and contemporary photographic practice can become material for a more individual way of seeing.
